People are often stigmatized by virtue of their status on such
dimensions as race, ethnicity, gender, age, weight, disability, or
sexual orientation, and this book deals with the plight of those
who are stigmatized in organizations. For example, they often
experience prejudice, unfair discrimination, mistreatment, and
exclusion from organizations and society as a whole. As a result,
there has been an increased interest in developing ways to decrease
the negative experiences of stigmatized groups, increase their
inclusion in organizations, and ensure that they have the
opportunity to enjoy a satisfying work life. Despite an increased
interest in decreasing the negative experiences of stigmatized
groups, most of the studies in human resource management (HR) and
organizational behavior (OB) have focused on only a subset of these
individuals including African-Americans, women, older workers, and
people with physical disabilities (Dipboye & Colella, 2005). A
number of other stigmatized groups have been practically neglected
by organizational research including people with psychological
disabilities (e.g., anxiety and depressive disorders), Asian
Americans, immigrants, those with foreign accents, individuals with
different sexual orientations, people who are single in
organizations, women entering the corporate suite, and adolescents.
Thus, the primary purposes of this issue of Research in HRM is to
consider research on The plight of stigmatized groups in
organizations, and foster research on those groups who have been
neglected in organizational research. In view of these arguments,
this issue (a) presents a brief review of the research on the
plight of several stigmatized groups in organizations (e.g., Asian
Americans, those with psychological disabilities, people who are
single, women entering the corporate suite, and individuals with
different sexual orientations, (b) identify needed research on
these stigmatized groups, © offer directions for future research,
and (c) consider the implications for practice that can decrease
the negative experiences of these group members, and facilitate
their inclusion in organizational settings.
